Description

The documentary The Aristocrats features a host of famous comedians, Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, George Carlin and Drew Carey among many others, give their personal take on the same joke. The dirty, filthy joke has been a staple of comedians since the Vaudeville days. The superstar comedians take it in many different directions as documented by Penn Jillette. Thinkfilm picked up the film at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.
